I’d report it.
The on-duty officer was out of line for giving his weapon to someone else. The off-duty officer was out of line for asking for it *and * for pointing it at someone without the intention of using it to subdue a suspect.
Nowadays, pointing a capgun or a water gun can get you arrested. This officer had absolutely no business treating a service weapon of any kind like a toy, much less to do it off-duty, and with someone else’s weapon.
It was a taser, not a gun. Continuing to call it a “weapon” is unnecessarily dramatic.
In fairness it is a weapon. His nightstick is also a weapon.
If you ever got tasered, you’d consider it a weapon.
The hell? Under what definition is a taser not a weapon? 
Some also do look like weapons, at least from first impression.
Cops have shot people who were “brandishing” wallets and stuff. Something that looks like a weapon in a probably darkish environment (bars are not known for being well-lit), and one could easily have a bad reaction.
This is just mind boggling. What would you define a taser as if not a weapon?
Put a laser sight from a taser onto the chest of an off duty cop in a bar. See what happens to you…
It’s not that it’s not technically a weapon, but conitinually referring to as a “weapon” rather than a taser in this context is being done to contrive an exaggerated sense of danger and drama. A nightstick is technically a “weapon” too, but it’s still ridiculous to hit the deck and roll around on the floor sobbing if somebody points a nightstick at you.
I doub’t he’d dive on the floor like Starsky and Hutch.
If you were lucky, you would get arrested.
Yeah, because cops are so used to being targeted by snipers with expensive laser sights their first reaction is going to be “SNIPER…IN A BAR!!! NO WAY IT"S JUST AN IDIOT WITH A LASER POINTER”. Christ on a cracker, they way you people go on you would think the world is full of hyper alert combat vets with thousand yard stares who are so used to laser combat they will just freak out and kill someone and it will be justified because you know killings with laser sighted weapons are just so damn common and you can’t be too careful.
In my job I deal with lying crooked criminal cops everyday, I also deal with some really upstanding officers who take their jobs seriously. On the spectrum of bad things cops do this is definitely on the low end. The cop was an idiot and should be reported if the incident happened as described. BUT I can’t believe people are so credulous of supposedly catlike combat reflexes of the OP.
Despite your obvious exaggerations about rolling around and sobbing, I should think that the reaction to a blunt instrument such as a baton or nightstick being pointed from 20 or 30 feet away would be rather different than from a taser or any other weapon capable of firing a projectile and being effective at that range.
The dishonest nature of your comparison does not validate your point, nor make you less of an ass. Neither does your derisive and deliberately misstatement of the facts regarding Doors’s reaction to having a weapon aimed at him.
Then again, it is standard operating procedure with you to invent some grandiose bullshit when you have a burning desire to argue against someone you obviously dislike, but no real leg to stand on.
I second the motion to file a complaint with the PD. Any officer that points a “weapon” (or whatever) at another unknown person as a joke, isn’t worthy of a badge. IMO.
When did I say the cop would kill you if you did that? When did I mention combat veterans?
You sight a taser on a cop in a bar, on or off duty, and bad things will happen to you.
The cop was wrong, it should be reported.
I’m glad you can now have some compassion for those of us have been treated unfairly by cops. It happens.
Does “not intoxicated” mean not drinking? Legal or not carrying a gun in a bar is stupid. Guns and alcohol do NOT mix.
Try snapperhead instead.
I’ll buy that.
It’s a non-deadly “projectile,” which is easy as hell to dodge from 20 feet away, and which nobody with any brains would think was serously going to be fired in that situation anyway. I know people who have been under fire (which I don’t think AD has, but I could be wrong), and none of them would collapse on the floor trying dig a gun out their cracks because somebody aimed a light at them in an American bar. It was a dumb thing for the cop to do, but this fake PTSD act on Doors’ part is making me roll my eyes out of my head.
Incidentally, it’s funny that Doors is preaching about the “awesome responsibility” of carrying a weapon while simultaneously toting a handgun around while he’s drinking. I’m way more concerned about a guy mixing alcohol and firearms than I am about a cop dicking around with a taser light.
The cop should be disciplined if it hapened the way the OP said it did. I doubt it did, though, as the OP is a moron with delusions of heroism and is exactly the type of person who shouldn’t be carrying a concealed weapon. He thinks he is making the world safer, but his response to this incident shows that he makes it a much more dangerous place. I’m glad he lives far away from me.
If that were true, cops wouldn’t carry them because they would be ineffective.
